The main reason we travelled to Amritsar was to visit the Golden Temple, however there are other interesting historical sites to see in the city. Sprawling and hectic Amritsar, Sikhs’ holiest city in the world, is situated in the north west of India in Punjab, close to the border with Pakistan. The city was founded in 1577 by Ram Das, the fourth Sikh guru, by a bathing pool with healing power. We travelled in India 2 months and although we didn’t go everywhere, the impressive Golden Temple in Amritsar was definitely a place that stood out, left us with unforgettable memories and now holds a very special place in our hearts. And that’s why we consider it to be the best place to visit in India. Incredible place, incredible people, incredible experience.
